ragged. The Glob as a whole is not heavily populated. most of the cluster
appears blue-white, but the center is bright enough to show a faint yellowish
tint.
220X-NGC6333 is well resolved throughout. The edge is loose and irregular with
a stream of slightly brighter stars in a thin line across the bottom.
272X-NGC6333 is well resolved throughout. There is a double star in the outer
fringes at the top and above them is a bright foreground star. There appears to
be an oval void at 10:00-11:00 O'Clock just outside the central concentration.
